Guys, is it just me or my imagination. Across the board it seems like guys have added between 5 and 10 % to their total weight! and it is not fat. The muscle density, tightness, and hardness seem to have improved. Either guys got more serious, Batson changed some things up, or the overall work ethic has changed. Maybe Dabo talked to Batson and said, "for us to get where we want to be as a team we need to step it up, get bigger, faster, stronger, and play up to these bigger teams. A few years ago (maybe 2011) as much as I didn't want to admit it I thought SC's S&C had far surpassed us. Their guys just looked harder and more defined. I think the lightbulb has turned on and the whole mentality has changed. I expect big things out of this team. I think the defense will keep us in close games. I think the secondary is gonna lay the wood, I think the linebackers are going to absolutely destroy some guys, I think the DL is going to wreak havoc, and I think at the end of the year Clemson is going to go get the respect no one is wanting to give.

Example of what I'm talking about. Look at Jadar Johnson at around 205 as a DB. Look at Jay Jay McCollough. Is he still considered a threat as a RB or strictly a TE? Another example, look at how think Grady was . Imagine trying to get by him. Our RB's!? Big! Not Alabama big overall, but some big guys. CJ Fuller, Choice, Dye, Gallman, Davidson, Howard, Brooks, and Fleming. Stacked.

Did anyone else just sit there watching that video in excitement and anticipation like me?
